A few photos reflecting classic times of the 80 year history of Yates Barber Shop.

"Yates is an institution. My dad went there for over 20 years. Thanks for reintroducing this Central Florida icon." Posted by: Deborah Bracknell

"I remember Yates when it was on Goldenrod.... my dad and brothers always got their hair cut there, and me too a couple of times. My school used to send kids up there when they came to school with hair above their collars.... Now, I take my son there." Posted by: Iris

"After getting my haircut a couple of times at Yates, I hate getting a haircut now back in Oklahoma. Just isn't the same." Posted by: Tim Turner

"Yates was the last Barbershop I ever went to. I went there through my childhood and miss the classic Barbershop environment that you can't get at your typical chain 'hair cuttery'. I live in CT now and get my hair cut at some lady's house that my dad knows."Posted by: Muggsy

"My dad, Luther Yates, was the founder of Yates Barber Shop. Tommy Upton, the current owner, is doing a wonderful job maintaining the integrity of the business my father founded over 70 years ago. My sister and I have wonderful memories of watching our father cut hair and greet his customers." Linda Pauline Yates

"I have been going to Tommy's shop since we moved to Florida in November 2002. I drive in from Deltona with my wife to get my hair cut. She sees Cookie for all of her hair needs. Joe and Tommy are the best when it comes to giving the best hair cut in central Florida. Thanks Guys.."Posted by: David Worsdell
